Default hunting without deer stand

im going to college up in bemidji right now and i dont have room for my deer stand, so whenever i have time to go i will have to either hunt fromthe ground or maybe climb a pine tree and sit on the limbs. has anyone ever had much luck doing this, climbing a tree, or would you recommend that i just build a ground blind? opener is 3 weeks away so i have plenty of time to build a blind especiallly since the land im hunting is about 2 minutes away.

If it were me, I would buy a quality ground blind. There are zillions to choose from anymore, and most are quite affordable. Next best thing, and sometimes better, than a teestand.

Buy a good ground blind, or make one. Use dead branches, logs, an existing plant or tree(cut out enough room to sit, manuever, and apply the smackdown).

all natural ground blind has my vote.
20 to 30 yards from a dominant food plot trail can pay off big.
have you considered stalking ?

Just make you a couple of ambush spots. I ground hunt all the time. you just have to be way more alert and careful.

I hunt from the ground all the time. 3D Leafy Wear suit and just be a lot more conscious of your movement. I shoot deer from the ground every year. A 129 inch buck two years ago.
